T 0 all whom it may concern i Be it known that I, JOHN OLIN .LANDIS, a citizen ofthe'United States, and a resident of VVaynesboro, in the county of Frankp Y issubjected to the action of suitable dies to lin and State of Pennsylvania, have 'invented a newand Improved Manicure Implement, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The present invention relates to new and ments and pertains more particularlyto small, tools especially adapted for trimming nails. c

The object of the present invention is to provide a device of this character which in its-initial manufacture is both simpleand cheap;

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character in which the cutting edge may from'time to time be renewed.

lVith the above and other objects in view, reference is hadtothe accompanying draw i 1') gs, in which i 25 Figure 1 is a top plan view of a device constructed. in'accordance withthe present invention; v I

Fig. 2 is an edge vlewthereof;

Fig. is atransverse sectional view on the line,3-3 of Fig. 1; Fig. a is a transverse sectional view on the linedi of Fig; 1. y

Referring more particularly'to the drawings, the reference characterb designates a metalfiplate, the center of which is pro ,vidod with an opening 6, which in the pres-' ent instance. is "shown as. round .bUf/WhlCh "may be made in any desired form or the sau'ie may be omitted without affecting the scope of the invention.

The reference character '7 designates an annular flange formed on themarginal edge of the plate 5, and as best seen in Fig. 3,

- theflange 7 is circular in cross section, but,

may be-in the form ofa channel or elliptical in form. I

In making the device, a flat circular disk useful improvements "in manicuring imple- MANICUBE IMPLEMENT.

of metal, preferably steel, is employed, and

said disk may or may not be perforated, as

form the annular marginal flange 7, which flange is subsequently subjected to suitable mechanism for bending'or curling its rim inward. I

The disk with its flange formed as above described, is now put through any suitable dated'December 9, 1919, Serial No. 291,314, filed April 19, 1919. Application for reissue'filed March 15, 1923. seriarno. 625,269.

hardening process, after which it maybe polished for the. purpose of imparting a finish thereto. The disk is now subjected to y '65. and the cutting elementsS are formed by grinding through the flange 7, the disk be the action of a suitable grinding machine ing groundin such a manner that flat sides 9 are produced about its periphery. These sides may or may not beequidistantly spaced about the disk, as desired.

From the foregoing it will beseen that the present invention not'only provides a device which 1s simple and cheap in manufacture, but contemplates a device in which the cutting elements may be renewed from time to time by merely subjecting the flat faces to the action of a suitable abrading material 7 I Having thus described is claimed is: i

1. A device of the character described comprising a nietal diskprovided on its edgewith a continuous annular flange of the invention, what substantially circular form in cross section,v

said flange having flat ground surfaces about its periphery, said ground surfaces. i 1

extending entirely through the flange to pro? vide a plurality of cutting members.

2. A device of the character described comprising a perforated metal disk provided on. its, edge with a continuous annular flangeof substantially,circular form in cross section, said flange having flatf'ground surfaces at equidistantly spacedintervals about its periphery,-said ground'surfaces extending entirely through the flange to provide a H plurality of equidistantly spaced continuous cutting members.
